Pattaya Express
Taxi and individual transfer to Koh Mun Nork (Laem Tan pier), Rayong
The Mun Islands are a quiet alternative to Koh Samet, off the coast of Rayong. There are three islands: Mun Nai (inner), Mun Klang (middle) and Mun Nork (outer). The nearest one is about 5 km from Laem Mae Phim in Klaeng district, and the boats leave from the Laem Tan pier, where the taxi takes you.
Mun Nai is the largest and the closest to the shore. It has a turtle conservation station started by Queen Sirikit, open every day from 08:30 to 17:00, with hundreds of sea turtles. The bays of Ao Ton Makham, Ao Hin Kod Ya, Ao Kong Kang and Ao Na Ban are on this island, and the last one is known for its coral. At low tide you can walk to Mun Klang along a sandbar of a few hundred metres. There is no accommodation on Mun Nai.
Mun Nork is the smallest and the farthest island, with white sand, swimming and snorkelling. You can sleep on Mun Klang and Mun Nork: Manta Kiri Island Resort is on Mun Klang and the private-island hotel on Mun Nork, and rooms are best booked in advance. The recommended season is November to April.
